Description

Scripture is a gift from God…but only through the Catholic Church can you experience the fullness of the Christian faith. Benedictine Abbott Basil Christopher Butler shows why the Bible can never be the sole criterion of faith nor serve as a sufficient foundation for the full Christian life to which Jesus calls us. The author affirms that the books of the Bible are inspired, yet incomplete. The Bible reveals much about Jesus, but they lack the living presence of His person and they have neither the continuing authorithy with which He indowed His Church nor the soul – saving efficacy of the Sacrements he instituted. There is only one place, shows Butler, where Christians can turn for the full truth of Jesus and the means of salvation He gave us: the Catholic Church.
